irs form 4852

I noticed on google that someone managed to efile a 4852 even though the conventional wisdom is that one can't efile when a form 4852 is included.  How is that done?  How is a 4852 included with a turbotax efile?  Was another efile method used?  Is there a way to make turbotax see a 4852 and its documentation on a computer?

 

Thanks

The Form 4852 is not supported for e-filing when using TurboTax.

Go to this TurboTax website for forms availability - https://form-status.app.intuit.com/tax-forms-availability/formsavailability?albRedirect=true&product=Turbotax_online&bu=cg

I understand that turbotax does not support 4852.  I was also looking for a fillable form that is sent to me rather than filled online.  Online "free" forms just collect personal information.  Maybe I expect too much.

In general, Form 4852 can be e-filed if you have the payer's EIN. However, as mentioned above, the form is not supported at all for e-filing within TurboTax.
